The Interview
Thank you so much for joining us today! Tell us a little bit about yourself. What is your backstory?
Dan Vogel : From computer science, to finance and now marketing for the past 15 years spanning a $500M publicly traded company to start-ups and everything in between, I have a lot of experience to share.
With over 20 years of industry experience, I have honed my expertise in performance marketing by leveraging my skills to drive targeted traffic, boost conversions, and optimize return on investment. I have a proven track record of developing and executing successful marketing campaigns across various digital platforms, including paid search (Google), social media (Facebook, Instagram & TikTok), and email marketing.
What’s the most significant shift you’ve observed in the marketing and branding landscape in the last year, and how should businesses adapt to it?
Dan Vogel : There has been a pretty big shift in the digital marketing space, specifically in social media advertising. There are 2 things to highlight. First, advertisers used to focus more on audience targeting, but with the iOS updates, now creative and ad copy are more important for businesses. Second, as social media platforms make it more difficult to reach your audience, it’s important to own your prospective client information (i.e. email addresses). As such, businesses should capture their audience so that they can communicate via email.
In the era of data-driven marketing, how do you balance the need for data and analytics with the creative aspects of marketing and branding?
Dan Vogel : Without data, you are wasting money. Data and analytics is needed to understand what works and what doesn’t. The challenging part is when organizations care more about branding than what the data supports. Hopefully organizations are open to new ideas that data supports.
